Amanda Rosenthal Talent Agency Inc.

What Amanda Rosenthal Talent Agency Inc. does

Amanda Rosenthal Talent Agency Inc. (DBA: ART Agency) is a privately held boutique talent agency founded by Amanda Rosenthal in May 2000 in Toronto, Ontario. The firm represents actors of all ages across film, television, theatre, voice, animation, and commercials, operating through two Canadian offices: a headquarters at 315 Harbord Street in Toronto and a regional office at 1-746 Rue Laporte in Montreal — a bilingual footprint that positions it among the only agencies with presence in both cities. The agency maintains a deliberately selective roster, positioning itself on quality and individualized career nurturing rather than scale, and serves clients across both Canadian and US markets. Its specialized Voice and Animation Department, spearheaded by agent Emily Klama, represents a distinct sub-vertical within the broader representation offering, with voice demos hosted on the third-party Casting Workbook platform.

The agency's revenue model is commission-based talent representation, with standard industry arrangements negotiated individually per client; no publicly disclosed pricing exists. It is a TAMAC (Talent Agents Association of Canada) member agency and is run by an all-women team in Toronto (with Alison Little in Montreal), including founder Amanda Rosenthal (25+ years' tenure), senior agent Emily Klama (BA Theatre Studies, University of Guelph; Entertainment Law certificate, Osgoode Hall), commercial agent Erica Fairfield (BFA Technical Theatre, Ryerson), and agent Stephanie Bleakley, supported by junior agents and assistants. The firm's client outcomes include Academy Award nominations (Marianne Farley, 'Marguerite'), SAG Award nominations for cast performance (August Winter in 'Women Talking'), Canadian Screen Awards, and ACTRA Award wins — establishing it as one of the most respected boutique agencies in Canada.

The go-to-market is highly relationship-driven: talent submissions are accepted by email only (headshot, resume, demo reel, self-tape), with referrals welcomed, and the agency explicitly states it is not a background agency. Marketing and brand presence are maintained through an active WordPress website blog, Twitter, and Instagram, primarily serving top-of-funnel awareness rather than transactional lead capture. Technology infrastructure is minimal — limited to the agency website, Casting Workbook integration for voice demos, and standard communications (email, phone) — with no proprietary software, app, API, or AI/ML capabilities evidenced.
